Indivisible Pacific County is readying for a “No Kings 3 Day of Action” in both ends of the county. In Long Beach, there will be a rally at Veteran’s Field, with a small march to follow; and in Raymond, at the usual protest location near Heath Street and U.S. Highway 101.
Both events will begin at noon on Saturday, March 28, highlighting excerpts of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. There will be a food drive for cash and donations to benefit local food banks.
“We will be angry but peaceful, confident and determined that this wave of tyranny will be pushed back and allowed to consume no one,” said Stacie Gordon, co-founder and leader of Indivisible Pacific County. “We have the power. We are the people, and our nation does not belong to authoritarians and despots. It belongs to us. On March 28, we take it back.”
To date, 3,000 separate events are on the national map, with new RSVP signups being added per day, according to a news release from Indivisible Pacific County.
All 50 states have multiple protests planned, along with an additional 15 countries worldwide.
Locally, there has been an uptick in interest and support for attending the two rallies in Pacific County and organizers anticipate an overwhelming crowd, outnumbering the last No Kings event, the news release stated.
The Chronicle has already reported on No Kings protests set to be held on the same day and time in Olympia and Centralia.
Meanwhile, the Washington state Republican Party is planning a protest of its own on noon March 28 on the state Capitol Campus in Olympia.
“Fight the tyranny of outrageous taxation,” an online statement from the party said. “Urge Governor Bob Ferguson to veto the illegal and unconstitutional state income tax, falsely dubbed a ‘millionaire’s tax.’ With massive capital flight already happening, it won’t be long before greedy Democrats in Olympia come after your hard-earned paycheck.”
